I think it was difficult to see both of the player's feet leaving the ground but it was right in front of the assistant.Poor decision imo. Nothing remotely close to a pen.
Was disappointed the onfield team couldn't call the red live, was obvious.
Get that argument but together they have to get that right. He's jumped in right into the back of the players leg.I think it was difficult to see both of the player's feet leaving the ground but it was right in front of the assistant.

I've always believed that goalkeepers seem to be a protected species. However, this appears to be the exception to the rule. For me, the challenge was normal contact but to give a penalty seems very odd indeed. As to WH being denied a penalty immediately afterwards when Bowen was rugby tackled to the floor, if Refs are not going to be brave enough to penalise all the rough housing at corners, then the denial of a penalty is consistent.Last minute Sheffield United penalty; what do we think? I can’t see the foul personally but I’m also a West Ham supporter so maybe looking through tinted spectacles.

I don't support (or have a dislike for) either team but that's not a penalty for me. If anything, it's more of a foul by McBurnie on Areola.Last minute Sheffield United penalty; what do we think?

Typing this I had a second thought and just confirmed it. The VAR that day, who said no penalty was Michael Salisbury.
I think mentally he’s been done by that incident and that’s why this one has gone wrong too.
